My new site, with two levels of excerpt

Ok, I just finished building osmagazin.co.yu on Textpattern 4.0.3. The magazine is in the Serbian language, and deals with open source. It’s fairly simple: it has categories into which articles go, and that’s about it, plus a contact and archive page.

I used following plugins: rss_suparchive (for archives), hak_article_image (for it’s great hak_article_thumb function, dru_random_text (for quotes on the front page, though that might go soon), zem_contact_reborn and etz_pg.

One interesting thing is that I hacked up etz_pg a bit, and added a function to display the entire article (quite a small hack really, though I’ll be happy to share it if somebody needs it). That way, the lead article on the front page has a longer excerpt than other articles (which use standard excerpts), by showing the first page of the lead article on the front page.

XHTML validates, but I’m looking into migrating all tables into div/style combination, especially since some last-minute hacks don’t render the way I’d like to in IE. It will take some time, since I’m a sucker for tables :)

All comments are welcome!
